SAFETY RULES FOR TREE SERVICE CHAIN SAW
This chain saw for tree service is a specialized
chain-saw of limited weight designed for use
by a trained and competent operator for
pruning and dismantling standing tree
crowns.
A trained operator is a person who has
competence and knowledge in:
- the use and particular hazards associated with
using a chain-saw (for tree service work),
- the precautions to be taken to limit these
hazards including wearing recommended
personal protective equipment (PPE).
Due to the special compact handle design,
there is an increased risk of injury.
For this reason these special chainsaws should
be used only for work in a tree by persons who
are trained in special cutting and working
techniques and who are properly secured (lift
bucket, ropes, safety harness).
For all other cutting work forestry chain saws
(with wider spaced handles) must be used.
In addition to the safety instructions listed in
the following pages of the manual, when
using a tree service chain saw take special
attention to the following instructions:
• The specially shaped handgrip on the
machine calls for particular care when dealing
with kickback.
• Extreme care should be taken at the end of a
cutting operation in relation to the machine
suddenly dropping. This eventuality is difficult
to control with this type of handgrip.
• Attention should be paid to chain sliding.
Instead of penetrating the tree trunk, the
chain may slide forward and the operator will
not be able to fully control this action.
• Tree maintenance operators must be trained
